Ixxvi. WAREHAM AND LYTCHETt HEATI*. 



Council of the Dorset County Museum and Mr. Barnes had 

 given two guineas each towards the expense. It was proposed 

 that the Field Club should give the same, and also vote a guinea 

 towards the cost of cleaning out the outline of the " Giant" at 

 Cerne. This was duly sanctioned. Mr. Pentin next mentioned 

 the proposal that the Club should join hands with the British 

 Archaeological Association to cut some sections, after obtaining 

 the necessary leave, at the Roman Amphitheatre and at Pound- 

 bury, Dorchester, in order to ascertain more correctly and fully 

 the real nature of those ancient and interesting earthworks. It 

 was proposed that a joint committee of the two bodies should 

 be formed to undertake the supervision of the work, and as a 

 guarantee to the public that it would be done in a scientific 

 manner by responsible persons. 



The proposal was approved, and the following were appointed 

 to act on the joint committee on behalf of the Field Club : 

 The President, Hon. Sec., Hon. Treasurer, and Assistant Secre- 

 tary, Captain Acland (curator of the Dorset County Museum), 

 Mr. H. B. Middleton, Dr. H. Colley March, the Rev. W. Miles 

 Barnes, and Messrs. C. S. and W. de C. Prideaux. It was decided 

 to invite Captain Acland to act as honorary secretary and 

 treasurer of the committee. 



The HON. SEC. added that it had further been suggested that 

 the Club should make a grant towards the work out of the 

 funds, to be supplemented by individual donations. If any 

 Members of the Club would like to contribute towards the 

 fund, Captain Acland would, he was sure, be pleased to receive 

 their contributions. 



The PRESIDENT said he believed that the British Archaeological 

 Association intended also to contribute towards the excavation 

 fund, and they would likewise give them the benefit of their 

 considerable knowledge and experience. 



On the motion of Mr. J. T. STEPHENS, it was unanimously 

 resolved to make a grant towards this object out of the Club 

 funds, and to leave it to the Executive to determine the exact 

 amount,
